Color Splash

1. My favorite image is the color splash one because the letters really jump out off the page.  It is cool that the background enhances the photo.  My favorite image within the letters is the picture of Patrick and me because it fits the frame well and he is a good friend of mine.

2. I like how the letters flow (wave) and how the letters are each individual and have their own meaning behind them.

3. I think I could have done a better job brightening some of my photos because a couple of them are hard to see.

4. A layer mask cuts out a certain part of a picture and allows you to edit a layer without editing the entire picture.

Webquest Blog Reflection

The Webquest project really encouraged me to learn more about different photography techniques especially pertaining to what things to look out for when taking the photo.  A lot of importance in a photo comes not only from the subject but also from the rest of the picture.  Important questions to ask when taking a picture are "Does the background enhance or detract from the subject?  Is the background too distracting? Does the background make sense with the subject?".  Through this Webquest I was able to explore the ways in which the rest of the picture really has an influence in the overall composition.  Also learning different ways of framing the subject was very interesting, especially the ones with leading lines and lead room.  I thought leading lines was really cool because it really directs your eyes to the subject and I liked lead room because it implies action or motion which really makes a photo more real.  I also enjoyed learning about the rule of odds because I have never heard of it before and it definitely helped to enhance the photos that I was taking, especially when the object is repeated it looks good to have an odd number of items because then the natural center will be one of the items and not just some random gap between two things.  This project overall was really cool because it highlighted some of the photography techniques that we have already learned in this class and also informed me of new techniques that can further enhance my photography.
